    265/60 18's should be about $330 in Melbourne. I had mine fitted by Bob Jane in Sydney - they will price match.

    I assume 265/60 will still fit back under the car (?)

    Which is preferable to most people for the GOE 18" wheels, 265's or 285's ?
    I'm about to prefer a set, but not really too sure which to get.

    I decided on 265/60/18s because they are more common if I need to buy another while away.

    X2. I could get 265's in a number of brands "off the shelf" in Kalgoorlie, whereas 285's had to be ordered in.

    Not that it is a concern to me as my spare wheel isn't under the vehicle anyway, but I'm not sure if 285's will fit under the vehicle - I think I read somewhere that you might have to deflate the tyre to allow it to fit in the hole.
    Cheers .........

    Same reason for me, plus it's quite close to the factory 255/55/R19 overall diameter.
    This means no issues with fitting the spare in place or wheel arch rubbing etc.

    All good thanks guys, I'll have the single rear carrier on the car, so fitment underneath wouldn't be an issue anyway. Having said that,, availability is a good enough reason for me to stick with the 265's.
    Cheers guys.

    I found the opposite. Being standard LC200 size the 285 was more common near me. Tyre shops 1 km away had General Grabbers, 697s and 1 other in stock...

    Just awaiting some quotes on Mon. Best I have got so far is $1625 for 5 fitted. If I go for 4 then I have 1 original (spare) which is 255 so figure I am best to go for 5 (@265) & start fresh.
